Like an avalanche roaring down the mountain toward us, the number of children suffering from autism spectrum disorder is building up a horrific momentum.

In 1981, one child in 10,000 was autistic. Today, one child in 50 is autistic.

If something is not done to stop this avalanche of autism, it will soon bury us all.

It would seem the logical place to begin regaining control is by identifying what is causing the rate of increase in autism spectrum disorder. Many believe vaccines are the cause of autism and its rate of increase. Many others disagree.
